This incredible trek in the Everest region is not just a thrilling trip, but also a picturesque trek. Everest 3-High Passes Trek takes us to the Everest Base Camp, Kalapatthar, Gokyo Valley and its tranquil lakes, Gokyo Ri, for amazing views of the landscape. More importantly, this route introduces trekkers to the remote and untouched Nangpa La Valley, the Sherpa village of Marlung and the monastery village of Thame. Moreover, trekkers tread on world famous routes while crossing Three High Passes covering Cho La pass (5368m), Kongma La pass (5535m) and Renjo La Pass (5360m), including Everest Base Camp (5364) and Kalapatthar (5555m).

We begin our journey to the Everest High Passes Trek with a sightseeing day in Kathmandu, which offers a brief exploration of the temples, shrines, bazaars and restaurants of Kathmandu. We take a breathtaking mountain flight to Tenzing-Hillary Airport at Lukla on the following day, followed by the trek up through the classic route to the Sagarmatha National Park playing with mighty the Dudhkoshi River, colourful landscapes, Gompas and monasteries in the land enclosed by soaring peaks. After reaching the summit of Kongma La, as we compose our way to the Everest Base Camp, we marvel at the spectacle of Khumbu icefall cascading from the Western Cwm. Our trek to the viewpoint of Kalapatthar is followed by the tough climb through Cho La that finally takes us to the cobalt-blue lakes at Gokyo. After enjoying awe-inspiring views from the fifth lake and Gokyo Ri, we make our way to the next great pass, the Renjo La. Stopping for a night in Marlung, we follow a little of the route used for centuries by the Tibetan traders via Nangpa La to get to Thame.
